PART I - BACKGROUND INFORMATION

101. BACKGROUND The Exposition Metro Line Construction Authority (“the Authority” or “Expo”) was established by Chapter 7 of Division 12.7 of the Public Utilities Code, commencing with Section 132600, effective January 1, 2004.

The purpose of the Authority is to award and oversee all environmental, planning, design and construction contracts for completion of the Exposition Light Rail Transit Project extending from the Metro Rail Station at 7th Street/ Flower Street in the City of Los Angeles to the City of Santa Monica (“the Project”). Upon completion of the project, it will be transferred to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the MTA).

Phase 1 of the project from downtown to Culver City is currently under construction. A design-build contract was awarded to a joint venture consisting of FCI/Fluor/Parsons in March 2006. The award was made on the basis of a competitively negotiated procurement process. Proposals were evaluated on the basis of best value, taking into account both technical qualifications and price; and, award was made to the highest ranked proposer. Phase 2 of the project from Culver City to Santa Monica is in the environmental planning stage and a design-build contract is scheduled to be awarded in late 2010. Phase 1 of the project is currently an estimated 47 weeks behind schedule based on the contractor’s most recent schedule. Responsibility for the delay, potential change orders, schedule recovery and other issues are in dispute between the contractor and the Authority. Although Expo has a current contract with Pinnacle 1/Arcadis to provide risk management services for this project, expert legal advice in the area of public works/construction law is also required. Therefore, Expo wishes to retain legal counsel specializing in this area to assist the agency as the project moved forward.
